Sunday Night Racing!

The only thing I have on my agenda for tonight is to watch the race! Well at least until I get bored with it and fall asleep.

We have been birthday parting all weekend. It gets kind of expensive. G had a pool party yesterday another pool party today and Cydney has a pond party tomorrow. It is actually a swimming hole. I think it is kind of snakey looking but I guess teenagers don't really care.

The party today was at our friends the Johnson's. I was just going to drop G off and then if you can believe it I started talking and stayed the whole time. Ellie and David are some of our best friends and I haven't seen them all summer and David's brother Donald wanted to take me to the river to see if it had flooded yet and then it was too late to go home. Donald and David are twins and before we were friends I saw Donald out his wife who I thought was David but with a different woman so I just marched right up to him to find out why David James' daddy was with another women. I guess you had to be their but at least all my friends know not bring their girlfriends or boyfriends around me!

JB wanted to get something out of his closet and I told him his room was too messy we would work on it tomorrow. Well while I was swapping laundry around he went in and cleaned it up at least the best he knew how. I didn't even know he was working in it until he called me to see if it was a good job. So guess what. I had to get the other toys out he asked for. G said this room isn't clean. I said for a five year old it is and James Brian did you do the best could could and he said yes and I said that is good enough for me!

The Dawgs won. We were happy of course. Cydney had something smart to say about the gators winning. Hawaii had no business playing them anyway. They are so little league. She only does those things because she know it bothers me.

Until tomorrow.....

Not much of a Saturday

My children have gotten old enough that they will get up and go downstairs and play or watch tv and let me sleep in a minute. Unfortunately I am usually awake before they are! I am not much of a sleep late person because when my eyes pop open I start thinking of everything I need to do!

Today I really haven't gotten to any of those things! I did clean out James Brian's chest of drawers but I didn't even take the old clothes away yet! I have played on the computer awhile and have gone to Justins house three times. I went to pick him up. They play here for a couple of hours. Then they play there a couple of hours and then they came back here to finish up the night!

Brian is having a pretty good day at work. He ask me to go out to eat but Saturday is not my favorite night to go out so maybe tomorrow we can do something.

My sister has been around the world today to go flea marketing. I don't get it myself. I tried to sell at the flea market in Macon. My stuff was too good and too expensive for those yard sale people. The funny thing is people would get there early and go around buying stuff just to resell it. I guess whatever pays the bills, huh.

I love the weather channel on line. They have the coolest little interactive map you can just type in your zip code and click and it will tell you exactly where the rain is. I guess I need to get out more.

Last night I had a dream my family and Shannon all moved to Las Vegas and Brian was going to get a job at Towbin Dodge. I told him he was a good salesman and he wouldn't have the pressure of being in charge. The I woke up. I have said when I grow up I want to move to Las Vegas but I wanted to be one of Lance Burton's girls not work at a car lot. I wonder what that means.

Now a storm has come up from no where. Grayce is at a swimming party. If she would have known it was going to rain like this she could probably paddle around the yard in a few minutes.

After I read Chase's comments on my blog I did some research on Governor Palin. I think I really like her. She has a son in the service, her husband is a blue collar worker, she has a special needs baby, she is anti abortion and anti gay, she is from an Assembly of God church and she will argue with anyone she thinks is wrong! I think that is a good thing. Plus Uncle Bobby says she's hot, again! She doesn't seem like she is willing to do wrong to do right!

I think the nationwide race is on later. I am curious to see how Carl and Kyle are going to act. It might be interesting.

Until next time....

Doesn't Pink Make You Feel Better!

Yuk!

My sister said she had a terrible day!

Welcome to my world. My friend Shannon's last day at the dealership was today. I have cried all day. Daddy took us to lunch. I didn't want to go because I knew I would cry. Sure enough I started crying before he finished the blessing. I never cry! At least not since I got old enough to give someone a piece of my mind! But today, good grief! She is not just leaving WMF she is moving to Tennessee. I manage to make it everyday with Dana 4 hours away I guess I can make it with out her! Thank heavens for cell phones and a million minutes a month!

I had to go to "real" work this morning. Brian was happy because I was with him. I hated it because I was weepy all dang day! James Brian doesn't like me working because he is afraid I will not pick him up at school on time! or at all! He started reading today. I am so proud!

Before I could go to real work I had a few things to do myself. Renter stuff, ball stuff, deposit, etc., etc. My house looks like Gustav already made land fall. I don't know who comes in during the day and makes such a mess because I know when I left this morning it was pretty decent!

The kids are out of school on Monday so I can sleep late. I did get the financial statements approved today and I also finished the jacket order for the all star team. Hopefully Tuesday I can start on my house again!

What about John McCain picking a women. I guess I am old fashion but I will have to vote for him anyway. With 5 children when is she going to be vice president. I guess that house is big enough. I heard someone on the radio say they were voting for McCain because he has a hot wife with nice tatas and she owns a beer company. What other reason do you need. I figure that is good enough to win the State Of Georgia!

Grayce and James Brian pulled their bicycles out of the garage and are riding outside. Cydney is having supper with her friend Jenni, just in town. I had rather her be home with me, though.

The doctor told Michael today that they did indeed break baby Jacobs collar bone when he was born. The good thing is it is already healed up. It supposedly happens alot but I don't care this is our baby. He is sleeping pretty good and has gained some more weight.

I am trying to think of something fun to type because Uncle Bobby and cousin Chase don't have anything better to do but right this minute I am not having much luck.

I am not cooking supper tonight. I ate too much lunch but they can have left overs from last night. No one ate too good anyway. I have been cooking every night so I will take vacation tonight.

I will go enjoy my Friday night now because next week we have a home football game. I hate to go but the children like to walk around and visit so being the good mother that I am I take them or Brian does or we both go anyway you get the picture.

Oh, oh, oh. How bout them dawgs. I am sure it won't be on television but I love GA football! I am also proud of Carl for getting penalized. I think thats cool!

Maybe something exciting will happen tonight. Until tomorrow....

Why Am I The Only One Still Bloggin'

My sisters friend started blogging. Melissa called me and said she was going to start because her friend was and I had to do it. Well apparently I am the only one stupid enough to spend almost every evening catching up. Of course, maybe my family is the only ones who care. The truth is I am probably the only person no one wants to talk to! Brian ask his sister last night if she was reading it. He told her it was the only way he could keep up with us.

It has been said that women have 10,000 words a day to get rid of. I try to type all 10,000 words every night because by the time Brian is ready to talk I am ready to sleep! Plus he really doesn't want to listen to 10,000 words!

Anyway, after all the excitement with the weather I didn't have anything exciting to tell yesterday!

I am getting all the cabinets and drawers cleaned out. I am expected at the dealership to work tomorrow. Maybe I will give them a few minutes. My dear friend Shannon is leaving WMF to move to TN. So I can't stay too long, it will be too emotional.

Brian and JB are golfing this evening. Grayce told me at 4:55 they she needed to go to Walmart, she had a project due tomorrow. She only found out about it yesterday. So after I cooked supper and cleaned up the kitchen we had to go to Walmart. It wasn't too terribly painful.

If I remember anything else I will come back up and add it. Good Night!

Bad Weather!

Well Fay is leaving her mark in Central Georgia!

It has rained and rained and then rained some more! The funny thing is with this "tropical" thing the sun will be shining and then all of the sudden it is pouring down!

I pressure washed the outside of the rental house. Just the front and sides, the grass was too tall in the backyard. If Uncle Bobby had his way there would not still be a rental house. I have tried to convince him those things are illegal! Bobby likes to live on the wild side! That was yesterday, today I worked on the carpet. For some reason I thought I could stretch it myself! HA, big mistake. You have to be strong to do that. So I just cut the metal strips for all the places the carpet is pieced together. I nailed it down as far as I could and Brian will go one day this week and finish it up!

I did rent it to someone today. They are moving in this weekend!

We had some weather excitement today. I picked up the children and decided to go to the car lot because we hadn't been since school started. Plus we have a new sales girl and she needs to know if she messes with Brian that he has a wife and three children that come with him! Anyway while we were there the tornado sirens went off. We could see it coming. It never touched the ground but it was huge! Funny thing is I wasn't scared at all. I was with my family and we were at the car lot, which is probably not the safest place to be but we were all together!

Tomorrow I am staying home and cleaning house. You literally cannot walk in JB's room because he has dumped his cars all over. We got G's closet cleaned out so I guess once I find the carpet in the den I might try his room!

The fair is less than 6 weeks away. Perry posts a sign that starts about 50 weeks from the fair and they change it every week. At about 30 days they start counting down. I called them once and fussed and told them I didn't need for them to count it down for me. We literally spend 14 or 15 days in a row over there. Brian works until 10 or 11 every night. Don't get me wrong we love it but it is tiring. They do provide food for us 2 or 3 meals a day, because we are a sponsor, but it isn't always fair food and I have to have grease and junk food!

I guess that is all the excitement for today, so much I can hardly stand myself!

I'm a lazy girl today.

Okay all the smart elics that just said I am a lazy girl everyday can just bite me!

I sat down with Brian to watch the little league world series and fell asleep on the couch! Don't we have an interesting time! Actually I wanted to watch Evel Knevel and he did change the channel but I think I had already seen it so I just dozed off!

Cydney and Brian just went to Sams, Grayce wants me to help her clean out her closet and James Brian is playing with Jacob!

Yesterday James Brian had a birthday party. He didn't want to go in the first place because it was for a girl. Second he said he would have to buy a doll. Well since it rained all day we decided we would go. I talked Cyd into going because I told her I would take her to Bass Pro Shops afterwards. As soon as we walked in the plates and cups were pink with hello kitty. JB walked right out and said I ain't staying. Well, we all stayed with him and he ate pizza and the little girls mom gave him some game tokens and he was fine. I do think the next little girl party we are going to skip. It just isn't worth the trouble!

Then I took them to Bass Pro for an hour. It was fine but the store isn't as pretty as the one in Destin. Cydney did get a shirt, she really never asks for anything. I bought myself a Martin Truex shirt for $4.88. It was long sleeves and pink and white for the winter. I don't know how I will explain me wearing it this winter. I guess I will just tell the truth. It was cute and on sale! At least he is kind of cute!

I have almost finished up the laundry but I do have some things to do for tomorrow. Lunch menu's and signed papers. Plus I like to get out everybodies clothes tonight for school tomorrow. It is only 2:30 so I really have all day. But have you ever noticed how it just kind of sneaks up on you.

Did anyone watch the race last night. I actually fell asleep while watching it but that was about 10PM. So I thought I remembered Carl winning but I was thinking to myself no I am sure Kurt did. Anyway when I was watching the sports this morning I was loving Carl being aggressive! I was so excited I was waking everyone up! I can't wait until Brian calls Jason in the morning and gets the rest of the story! I also think Carls fan base just doubled! Just think I have always been a Carl Edwards fan.

It is still raining here. The grass is still growing and to think Friday I worked in the yard at the rental house, the stupid bushes will have to be trimmed again!

We went to church and Sunday school this morning. It was promotion Sunday, where the kids move up to their new grade level. They all had instructions to bring there backpacks. I had no idea why. They layed them all on the alter and prayed over them. I personally thought it was the coolest thing I had seen in a long time. I pray for my children and their school and teachers but it never occured to me to pray over the backpack! Matter of fact I even pray over their lunches but the backpack thing was cool!

I guess I better get moving! I need to do something before Brian gets back!

Until next time...

Nothing I Had Rather Do!

It is pouring down rain outside and there is nothing better to do than blog!

Actually I could go do laundry so that on Monday it isn't so backed up! I already cleaned out the freezer, only because I left a coke in there and it froze! It was on my list of things to do I just wasn't going to do it this morning! I still need to clean out the big freezer but no cokes exploded in there so I will wait another year! I can't clean out cabinets are drawers because the children won't let me throw anything away! I have to wait until they aren't home.

Brian took me to dinner last night without the children. I told Brian the waitress forgot the coloring book! Everyone had a friend over so Cydney stayed with everybody. Cyd actually had two people over but I made the "boy" leave when I got ready to go. Then while we were eating she got a call to babysit down the street, so the mom brought her two kids to the house until we got home. When we did get home Cydney and her friend took the babysit kids to their house. I didn't want to take G's friend home so I let her stay and then I went to bed! I took Jenni home already this morning and we are now getting ready to go to a birthday party.

The party is in North Macon. It is James Brians friend but she is a girl so he doesn't really want to go. I asked G to go with us so now he said he would go. It is at Starcadia which is part amusement park part arcade. He will have fun he just can't figure out the girl thing. I also hate for us to sit inside all day long since it is raining!

I am sitting here thinking of everything I should be doing but I had rather just ramble on about nothing than really do something! My sister if off with her husband somewhere, my mom is babysitting her kids. My dad and Margarett are off to Erics and I am sure his wife is trying to take over my spot.

The rental house is finally almost finished. My friend Willie was supposed to cut the grass today but since it is monsooning outside I guess it will have to wait. I am supposed to pressure wash the outside on Monday but that might not happen either! My favorite things to do are pressure wash and blow off the driveway. Isn't that strange! But you can see you have done something when you use those two things! I wonder if I could use the blower in the house. I could just blow everything in a big pile or maybe just blow it out the door! I might try that!

I guess that is all I can ramble on about now. While I sit in this room all the stuff I have to list on ebay is peeking at my thru the closet doors. I have to get out of this room so I don't get involved with that until I get my house finished. I can only do one project at the time!

Until next time...

Can you say "Kyle Busch Drives Me Crazy"

I fell asleep watching the race. Well Brian is laying in bed with me, JB and G. Cydney was doing her thing as she usually does at dark. Anyway, I feel the bed move and Brian getting up so I wake up and go who won the race? Oh, never mind I know who always wins the race. There has got to be some kind of law that says he cannot win every single race. Like in elementary school when you get so many points they make you sit down and let someone else have a turn. That is what should happen. Kyle needs to sit out a turn and let someone else win!

I had a much better day today at the rental house. I didn't throw up once! I had a better attitude and decided it wasn't such a bad house after it got cleaned up. I worked in the yard for most of the day and Monday I am going to pressure wash the outside. My friend Willie is doing the rest of the yard tomorrow! So all in all it wouldn't be a bad place for Brian to live if he makes me mad! (I am just teasing I still don't want my children to have to live there!)

So did anyone read my comments. See what I am talking about Chase. He just goes off! I am still looking for him a wife. Notice not a girlfriend but a wife! He's really funny and handsome and remember he has job and doesn't have a DUI or a payroll card.

My Uncle, well actually Brians uncle, but he likes me best said I should just hire me some help from the street corner. That thought never occured to me but I will keep looking for that corner when I am driving around. I don't know if we have those in town. Those people might be underground here. I might just ask around.

I am a cooking machine. I have fixed supper for like the 10th night in a row. I even fixed supper for my brother to take home to his wife. I am such a good sister. If my sister was here I would fix for her too, Melissa!

Nothing else fun for today. Until next time....

Cleaning Strange Toilets is Gross!

The truth is I am really too tired to blog but I had to share this terrible day!

I have been going to clean up this rental house. Well the princess that I am has cleaned the last rental property that she is going to clean. My friend Dana can block it out of her mind and clean any thing. Not me. I had to scrub, go throw up, scrub, go throw up. That is how my day went.

I did have to go to the hardware store and I asked for one of those paint brushing things. Those have a name. A nap. I said I guess that is where the word nappy headed child comes from. So all in all I did at least learn something today. Nap-a thing to roll paint on the ceiling. Try to use it in a sentence before you go to bed!

The bathtub was so gross. I cannot believe someone would take a bath with all the gunk around it. I just poured a gallon of bleach and most of it came off. The bad thing is it is an old enamel tub and that stuff is coming off. The toilet wasn't too terrible bad it only had mold where it has been closed up. But I don't think they swept the floor the whole year they lived there. It is one thing to not have the nicest things in the world but water is almost free you can clean up!

My crazy cousin Chase emailed me or commented one was I talking about his bathroom. Well let me tell you something. If I thought for one minute his bathroom was that dirty I would drive to his house and beat him myself. Chase, you better clean the bathroom, you never know when I might just drop by!

Then, I realized the window unit air conditioner had been stolen. It is a big deal because it cost several hundred dollars I just didn't think it was a big enough deal to call 911. Well, I call the police chief, small town we are all friends. His secretary said I need to call it in because they had that happening alot lately and when they catch someone the more evidence they have the better. Fine, I call 911. I am feeling really silly by now. I am wearing a red bandana on my head to keep the paint out of my hair and I know he is thinking I am part of a gang! Shannon told me to take if off someone was going to shoot me! Steve, a salesperson, called me Aunt Jemima! Anyway, nice young police officer said, ma'm how long are you going to be here. I said till about 2:30 and then I am coming to finish up tomorrow. He said I will send a patrol by to check on you! Oh, my gosh. He thought I was his mother! Then he said we don't have too much trouble in town except this street and Frank Satterfield. Frank Satterfield is where we have another rental. I noticed today the door still has a gun shot from the fiasco last year! I have been a little better choosing renters.

Then if that wasn't enough a young girl came by to see the house with her two children. They were clean and dressed nice. They had a fairly new car but, it just broke my heart. No child should have to live like that. So I had such a total break down I had to leave for a few minutes. I hope those children are cared for. I am so blessed that my children live in a bubble. They go to private school, have a new car to ride in, a nice clean house, have nice clothes and as much food to eat as their stomachs can hold! I wished I could save the world.

I did make one decision today. When the housing market picks up I am out of the rental business! The mother and children was the last straw!

Then I did get to thinking that house isn't that bad. It was just dirty and maybe their mom is a total neat freak. Even though she did have one rotten tooth in front and smoked! That doesn't make her a bad mom!

Now I have come home and fixed supper. The girls are doing homework and JB is playing with Jacob. They are playing soccer in the den. They chose teams and he asked me did I care if he was a gator! What could I say. I said one time will be alright! It is soccer, not football!

Hopefully, I can finish up tomorrow if it isn't raining. Brian is supposed to be off and I hope he plays golf. He has spent so much time doing what we want I hope he does something he wants for a change.

I have decided that manual labor is no fun. I might work at the dealership after all. At least I wouldn't have to vacuum up other people's toe nails and I would be in the air. (This house did have one window unit left but I wasn't that hot and I didn't want to run up the power bill!)

I just read my sisters blog and forgot to add something. Sometime in the last couple of days someone had a car wreck in her front yard. She sent me the picture with the bodies covered almost in her driveway. It is really sad and people keep leaving crosses and flowers and teddy bears in her yard. She keeps tossing them out. She was going to get a no trespassing sign today. She said it would be different if the circumstance were different but it was drunk driving and the 20 year old killed his girl friend and best friend. She said she was going to put up a sign that sad thank you for the lesson you have taught my children!

This princess is going to bed!! Until next time....

My Cousin Chase is Too Silly!

My cousin Chase, who is my daddy' sisters oldest child always makes me laugh! By the way he has his own house, a good car, a good job, but he doesn't have a wife! So as of this minute I am making the rest of this years goal to find him a wife. For one thing he needs a wife and for the second reason he drives me crazy! I love you, Chase! But what started this blog is he is always leaving me silly comments and emailing me crazy off the walls things that are so over my head I just go, OK!

I tell you what. My days with all my children in school has not started off exactly as I had planned! I have yet to eat one bon, bon! I have been running errands like crazy, I am still working on ball stuff (jackets, parties, etc.) and then I get an email that says it is time to sign up for fall ball. I told them no thank you!

I was supposed to work on the rental house today but never got to it. I did get the stuff purchased to paint and clean and lay tile with (that should be funny!) But my nephew needed me so I had to go see him! He told me he loves me today! (I have three children, I speak baby!)

Then it was time to pick up the children. I have cooked supper and am about to start some laundry and then it is time for baths and bed! Where does time go.

Until tomorrow.....

Tuesday

I don't even have anything at all to talk about except I am tired of cleaning house today. Brian is too busy to talk, I dont' really want to talk, (the phone rings now, it's my mother, hey mom!)! We only talk for a minute! Really! This time, anyway!

I think I got a bunch done today. Tomorrow I have a hill to climb. I usually pay someone to clean up a rental house but I am going to attempt to do it myself! I went by today to turn the breaker box off. Yik, It smells so bad. I don't understand how people can live in smelly conditions. I am going to paint and put down tile! I am a big girl I can do it since I won't have anyone helping me. (I mean little hands, of course! Actually big hand either). I am also going to attempt to clean the nastiest bathroom in the county. Don't worry I am going to carry a big jug a bleach.

The children did great getting up for school today. I didn't sleep worth a flip, but I never do. I am still never late, though! James Brian had library today. He didn't get to get the books he wanted. The librarian told him those NASCAR books were for the older children. Don't worry, I emailed her and ask if I could check them out and read them to him!

I probably shouldn't say this out loud but in the car something came on the radio about HIV. Grayce asked about it. I tried to explain it. It took several minutes so I am going to cut the story real short. Part of the discussion was not to have sex without a condom (my children know not to ever have sex until your married) and James Brian said. Condom like our house at the beach, have we every stayed at that condominium? I said yes, I think we have!

Think about that tonight when your trying to go to sleep!

Love you all.

Until tomorrow....

I TOLD YOU KYLE BUSCH WAS A CHEATER!!!

I guess I am a couple of days behind because when I told Brian this morning he said he knew two or three days ago.

I told him I knew months ago when he kept on winning! In all fairness to all the teams I am sure it is just about who gets caught and who doesn't!

GO CARL, GO CARL, GO CARL, GO CARL, GO CARL!!!

Sunday

Yesterday my mom and sister came down to see the baby. He is doing much better. Brandi got to go home so she is doing much better. Luckily her mom is staying with them, probably for as long as she needs her. If I was her I would work that!

I had lunch with my mom, sister, neice Annie and nephew Brance. James Brian played with Justin so he didn't want to go visit. They made me eat at Chedders. I hate that place. It was worth eating there to get to spend time with them. I love ya'll.

We went to church and Sunday school this morning. It was actually better than usual. Plus they had alter call. I was so excited. I didn't feel the need to go but it bothers me that they never have alter call in the Methodist Church.

Now Grayce is cleaning the bathrooms, while I blog! That is pretty bad isn't it. She helped me dust my room, really she dusted my room. She wanted to so who am I to stop her. I even moved the furniture to vacuum. I want to get the part clean that people see before I start on the part people don't see. I think I will feel better about it! I make it sound like my house is nasty and it isn't it is just unorganized right this minute. But since we been playing ball everyday for six months I will blame it on that! Cydney and my best friend Dana's daughter are coning Dana into coming down for the fair so my house will need to be spotless for that because Dana is out of control in the house. She doesn't even have a junk drawer!

Hopefully we can go to bed early tonight. I would go to bed early every night but no one will let me. James Brian has to learn to go to bed on time so he isn't tired in the morning. I think family guy comes on at 8:00 so maybe he will want to watch that. No animal cops tonight so I guess I will just stare at ceiling!

How about my man Carl winning yesterday. I hope he doesn't crash today.

I guess that it is for today. Brian is working in the yard so I better go check on him!

He's Finally Here!

Jacob Michael Morris, 10 lbs, 23 inches long! (2 weeks early)

The sad part is they had to use forceps to pull him out and it bruised his little face really bad but today he is 100% better. So I figure in a day or two you will never been able to tell he got beat up coming into the world!

I doesn't seem like it has been long enough but I am sure to Michael and especially Brandi it has been forever!

He was born yesterday so we went to the hospital last night and I spend most of the morning with them. The good thing is I got to hog him because only me and Brandi's mom were there and of course Michael. Michael is the funny one, he doesn't have a clue and he won't leave Brandi for a second! Believe me he needed to leave because he slept on the couch and his hair was a wreck!

We have started school in full force. Everybody seems happy. Everybody has gotten up and we have left early of course it has only been three days but hopefully that is an example of what is to come. James Brian wanted to sleep late this morning but he will just have to learn to go to bed early!

Everyone is happy. Grayce is at Hannah's, Justin is here and Cydney is playing on the computer with no one to bother her. We were supposed to go out with Rob and Pam but I don't think I have the energy. I was worried about the baby most of the night.

I spent my second children at school day not cleaning the house but I can clean next week. Jacob needed me today.

I guess thats it for today. I have to again go do what didn't get done today!

Until next time....

The First Day Is Over!

You just can't believe how good a day we had this morning! I didn't sleep half the night because Brian changed the channel on the TV and a stupid infomericial came on trying to sell music and it woke me up! I can sleep thru Sanford and Son, Three's Company, Andy Griffin, The Cosby Show I can even sleep thru Animal Cops but you let music come on and I am wide awake. I wasn't mad at him because it was on the discovery channel, who would have though they would run an infomerical at midnight! Then I spent the rest of the night tossing and turning thinking about what I had to do now that school is back in!

Cydney was up at about 6:15, G at 6:30 and JB shortly after that. So we got ready early. Cydney said this afternoon that she even wore the same outfit she picked out last night. That is a first. She usually changes her mind 12 times!

It appears everyone likes their teachers. I asked JB was he excited and he said he would be if he could stay all day. Everyone has a full day tomorrow and I have to go work at the carlot. Ain't that some crap! Actually I am only going to work until about 10:00 and then I am coming home to eat bon bons!

My house is such a mess I don't even know where to start but I have until Thanksgiving break to get it clean before they mess it up again!

Michael's and Brandi are having the baby sometime tomorrow! She has to be at the hospital at 4AM. I am sure that is going to happen. They probably told her 4 so she would be there by 7! Michaels favorite number is 14. It looks very possible that his baby will be born on the 14th. How cool is that. I didn't care what day my children were born on just as long as they got out! I am sure that is how Brandi is feeling about right now!

I guess that is it for today. I am going to find something for supper for the third day in a row. Yea, Me!

School Starts Tomorrow!

It seems like just yesterday I was typing a blog saying school was about to be out and now it is time to start already!

I am not ready for school to start! I enjoy my summers with my children. They are old enough not to be too much trouble. We all get along and goof off and I am not ready to start getting up early everyday!

Cydney has already started yelling about going over to school tonight. It is new parent orientation for heavens sake she doesn't need to go!

I asked Brian last night how did it feel to work a full day without ball he said "weird"!

Grayce isn't going to play school ball. She is too tired. I don't blame her. I am tired of softball myself!

James Brian is getting excited about school. I am glad someone is. I only have cleaning the house to look forward to!

Michael called. The baby is coming on Thursday. They are going to induce Brandi. That is something to look forward to! I am thankful it is them and not me!

I will be cooking supper for the second night in a row. I can't remember the last time that has happened. Not that we haven't eaten good. I think my body is having buffet withdrawals!

I never choose what teachers my children get. I always figure God gives us who is best for us. Sometimes I don't like who they get but the children always love there teacher. Well, James Brian got a note from his teacher yesterday that said "I know God has purposely chosen these children just for me". Isn't that the coolest thing. The funny thing is I don't know that I would have chosen this teacher. He will like her because she is real pretty! He is like his granddaddy!

I guess I should go do something instead of typing on the computer all day.

Until next time....

Whew! We're Home!

There is no way to remember everything but I will try to quickly summarize it all! The laptop power cord went out so I couldn't keep up everyday. While I was in Louisiana the motel lobby had a computer but I didn't have time to use the bathroom much less blog! Just in case you wondering I was in charge of all 12 girls and all the parents. I pretty much told everyone when to jump and how high! My day usually started at 7:00 when I knocked on everyones door to get them up!

Thursday: We left for Louisiana. Brian was able to go with us. He drove all the way. We had about 5 people following us so Cydney didn't get to drive any going and we carried an extra child so we didn't want to take any chances. We left about lunch and got to our motel about 12:30 Georgia time. We did have a good supper at a little dive somewhere so that made it easier to ride!

Friday: I had to pick up t-shirts, put down deposit, hand out Georgia State Flags, blah, blah, blah. My day started early but our motel was pretty decent and at least had good cold air conditioning. The coaches had a meeting at 4:00 practice after that and we had opening ceremonies at 7:00. It was boring and we got back to the room late but the children seemed to enjoy it.

Saturday: First game at 10:00. The coaches wanted us at the field at 9:00 and the girls had to eat breakfast so I was up getting everyone going. We played Arkansas and lost. Grayce pitched some of the game and she didn't make any errors we just didn't go to play ball. There are alot of young girls on the team and they aren't taking it as seriously as Grayce and her friend MacKenzie did. When we got back in the car the tempature was 111 degrees! That's hot! We we went to a fun park and I sat with the bank bag and handed out money while all the children hit in the batting cages and rode go carts and played video games. The highlight of my day was the two icees I had. We had eaten a terrible lunch at the ballfield and ended up having pizza for supper.

Sunday: Second game against South Carolina. We lost. Some of the players made so many mistakes it was almost embarrasing! We had to take down our Georgia flag. The is pretty sad but G handled it better this year. Cydney did not! We chose not to eat at the field it was yicky so I ushered everyone to pickadilly. We went back to the ballfield that night to watch some of the other children play. In our motel we had three other teams and the children had made friends so they wanted to support them and by the time all that was over it was really too late to start to Panama City besides our motel room was already paid for!

Monday: We head to PCB. Our condo has someone in it! Luckily they were able to move them to another room! We took the Andersons with us. Rob is the other coach. Pam is his wife and they have two children. MacKenzie and Riley. They are so funny I have never laughed so hard.

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday: We just played at the beach. I got sunburned! We ate really good everyday and spent too much money eating out! We played at least one game of putt-putt everyday and rode go carts.

Friday: The Andersons left Thursday about Midnight so Friday we just school shopped and swam and looked for crabs at night. We ate some more really good food and now I have to diet this week! We played more putt-putt!

Saturday: We shopped some more and exchanged some things we bought on Friday. We ate more good food and played more putt-putt and rode more go carts!

Sunday: We left at lunch. It took that long to squeeze our fat selves into the car! We didn't eat so good yesterday. Brian informed me he had been in the car 17 hours with us! Isn't he sweet! We came home unloaded and tried to go to bed at a decent time. The air upstairs is janked up again so it was hot.

Monday: We ran some errands this morning. I am waiting on the air man to come and fix the air. We picked up the kittens. Got the mail, I still haven't gone thru all of it! It could be another week. I am trying not to drink coke today! Ha! I might have to anyway. The children start school on Wednesday but get out at 12:00. Brian will be off on Thursday so I am sure I can't get anything done until Friday! James Brian got a really sweet note from his new teacher. I am thankful he got Ms. Evelyn. Cydney is happy with her schedule, oh she picked up a boyfriend in Louisiana! Grayce is just glad to have a day off from ball. She can play school ball this year but I don't think she wants to. That is fine with me!

I don't know what we are going to do today with no practice tonight. Rob, the coach, went to see Brian this morning and Pam, his wife already called me! We think we might just go hit some balls for the fun of it! Just kidding!

I told Brian last night. I love my house, I love my Kitchen and I love my bedroom. I am so blessed!

I am glad to be home!
